Itinerary
This bustling market is perfect for exploring local produce, crafts, and souvenirs. It's a great opportunity to interact with local vendors and sample regional delicacies.
The small streets of Sanmachi Suji give Takayama an authentic Edo period feel. This quaint historical district is the ideal place to take a stroll, enjoy the atmosphere and sample some local sake.
Experience the huge festival floats, paraded through the streets during the famous Takayama festival
The Higashiyama Walking Course (東山遊歩道, Higashiyama Yūhodō) is a pleasant walking route through Takayama's temple town (Teramachi), the city's rural "suburbs" and Shiroyama Park, a wooded hill and former site of Takayama Castle. Along the 3.5 kilometer long course, you will pass more than a dozen common temples and shrines, the ruins of Takayama's former castle and ordinary scenes of a rural Japanese town. While the Higashiyama Walking Course is by no means a stunning sightseeing experience, it offers a pleasant way to spend one or two hours and get to know Takayama's calmer side.
The Sakurayama Hachimangu Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture that is dedicated to the tutelary deity of the area. According to tradition, the origins of the Shrine date back to the reign of the Emperor Nintoku, when Prince Naniwa-neko Takefurukuma no Mikoto, who had come to the area to subjugate an evil monster, prayed for victory at this site. The Shrine is closely associated with the Autumn Festival that is one of the two Takayama Matsuri (Takayama Festivals), the other being the Spring Festival that is associated with the Hie Shrine; the Takayama Matsuri has been designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property. Some of the “Yatai” (decorated floats) used in the Takayama Matsuri procession are on display in the Takayama Festival Floats

We had an excellent day on this tour. We visited some great sites, had excellent food, including lunch in a lovely restaurant. Kumiko was an excellent guide with lots of knowledge about Takayama and Japanese history. We went to the government headquarters of the Edo era, which was really interesting, and would not have been nearly as good without Kumiko. We went to a saki brewery to taste some samples. As she got to know is over the day she made suggestions about what to do and where to visit. I can't recommend this tour more. I only wish Kumiko was with us in all the places we are going in Japan. Such a good tour and excellent guide.
